Oregon’s Penei Sewell to opt out of 2020 season and focus on coming NFL Draft

Another huge college football star has elected to opt out the 2020 season as Oregon’s Penei Sewell will set his sights towards the 2020-21 NFL Draft.

According to ESPN, Sewell is a potential top-five prospect and the top offensive lineman heading into this season’s draft behind only players like Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence.

Sewell burst onto the scene as a sophomore as a dominant violent run blocker and precise pass blocker for the Duck’s high-octane offense.

His breakout season earned him the Outland Trophy awarded to the nation’s best offensive lineman and made a bit of history becoming the first Polynesian-born player to win the award.

Coming into 2020, Sewell was a unanimous first-team All-American selection and with the Pac-12’s decision to postpone all athletic competition for the calendar year, the move makes all the sense in the world.
